Retaliation
Retaliation may occur in a number of contexts. For instance, an employee could report discrimination or participate in a discrimination or sexual harassment investigation. An employee could refuse to perform an illegal act, or could report illegal acts of the agency and its employees. Sometimes employers retaliate when employees attempt to exercise their workplace rights, such as the right to organize a union, take medical leave, or serve on a jury. Government employers cannot retaliate against an employee for exercising free speech.
If you believe that you have been retaliated against by your employer, please contact us.
